Lovely friendly hosts, made us feel at home, a lovely house and so clean. Our room at the front of the house was immaculate well decorated and nice and cool on a hot summer night. We slept well, and breakfast was great, with lots to choose from. Will be visiting again when we are next down that way. Thank you...

We had 2 nights stay and it was wonderful, we were made to feel at home instantly the rooms were exceedingly clean and had everything in them that you needed and more. Breakfast was fantastic with a very wide selection and even a specials board. Lots of info on what was going on locally. If we return to Cornwall we...

Had the chance to come down to Cornwall again for a few days and have stayed here before. Found everything spot on as we did last time. Really warm welcome, Lovely clean comfortable rooms and briliant wide choice at breakfast. Plenty of info from the owners on where to dine and visit made the stay really enjoyable seeing things we...

This place is just average really.
It was clean and had a car space but that's about all I can say to recommend it.
The location is ordinary, it's right on a main road and you are constantly bombarded by traffic noise going up and down the street. The curtain is not adequate to block out light so the room...

Thank you it was a pleasure to meet you too! Honestly you booked 1 night only then rip us to pieces because we are not a 5* hotel. Which bit of the web site did you read? We are exactly as it states and yes on a road there are not many b&b's that are not!! Breakfast time suits the...

Needing somewhere to stay for a single night whilst walking the coast path, and failing to find anywhere nearer to the coast than a mile inland, I thought I'd struck lucky with this place which was cheap and took single night stays, unlike most of the B&Bs along the coast. The room, and separate bathroom, themselves were clean, a decent...

Yes this is a well-appointed guest house; you cannot say otherwise, the room was well equipped, spacious, clean and well decorated. The single bed was okay for the one night.
What surprised me was the lack of a friendly welcome, which I was expecting. I found little evidence of a friendly welcome, it was come in here’s the keys; pay...

Myself and my partner stayed here for two nights during the February half term. We are both teachers who were looking for a relaxing break away from him, which is exactly what we found here at Pen Star guest house. Upon arrival, Anne greeted us and was really friendly, recommending good places to eat and visit. I have a wheat...

We stayed here for 4 nights and from start to finish it was perfect. We were given a very clean room with good facilities and the bed was very comfortable. Even though we were next to a main road it was peaceful. There was a great selection at breakfast and tasted beautiful. Our hosts were very friendly and clearly enjoy...

Pen Star is a wonderful place to stay! Gary and Anne are friendly, excellent hosts who have decorated their home/guest house in a professional way that is homely and peaceful. I have found them to be understanding and receptive to my hectic travel needs due to the nature of my visits to the area. Their home is, for me, a...
